It was nighttime at Unto Shrine.
That morning, Kimura Kazuki and his group left Sakagami Village for the nearest town to have breakfast. After their meal, they returned to the village by noon with a generous supply of groceries. This time round, they were sensible enough to bring back a sufficient amount as the long distance between the village and the town did not do them any justice in the event of hunger strike.
However, when night fell, Kimura Kazuki knitted his brow in concentration.
"Kimura-sama…" Sei Shigeru's voice beckoned through the door in a slightly dignified manner.
When Kimura Kazuki stepped out of the door, he saw Sei Shigeru, Harunaka and the other two standing next to each other.
